Thanks Jim. I really needed that chuckle after a long, rough, week.

Love my afternoon naps! I'm only able to get them one or two days a week and sure look forward to them.

Heck, I don't have gophers but I still want one of these things!!

I'm curious how many of the patients succumbing to heart-related problems received "hydroxychloroquine" as part of their treatment for the virus? Heart-related problems are several of the most common...

Ed, I've owed three of them, all because SWMBO wanted them. The prices ranged from $28-$40, all different brands (which ought to be a tell). SWMBO used them exclusively for watering plants.

"Too much time spent polishing your image, tarnishes your character." -- Heard Dale Brown (former LSU basketball coach) say it, but not sure it's his quote.

I've been taking Chantix (the smoking cessation medicine) for a while now. It seems to be helping/working. A month's worth of pills (2 a day) come in a box where EVERY SINGLE pill is in a punch-out...

Man! Hit you so hard that it turned your explorer over, and the vehicle next to it as well! :)

Kieth, research "Section 508". Section 508 covers the accessibility of media. Much of my professional work-life has been spent working with the Section 508 accessibility of web-based...

"Measure it with a micrometer, mark it with chalk, and cut it with an ax." Reference to a screwed up work standard or a twisted sense of quality.

Dustin, while I am by no means an expert, I have ebonized some cherry using the white vinegar & steel wool mixture you speak of, but no tea. The solution was wiped on using multiple staining cloths,...

It happens to all of us.

About a year ago I started taking taking Ginkgo Biloba because they say it helps your memory and cognition. Took it for about a week, then I'll be darned if I didn't...

Well.., it's spelled differently?

Hopefully far enough that your significant other can't find the evidence. :)

I use Wood Turners Finish fairly regularly and on some fairly large bowls. I apply the finish while still on the lathe running at a slow speed - usually 60-80 rpm. I apply the first 2-3 thin coats...

Old/used fabric covered mouse pads are great sandpaper backers for hand-sanding - the foam material is tacky and keeps the sandpaper from slipping. Old business cards make great glue spreaders when...

Mark, it seems right, I know. But if you look at your drawing again you'll see that your segment has a "total" angle of 22.5 - but you'll also see that the segment is made up of two equal cuts. ...

Looks a lot like Monkey Pod to me?

Glen, I true up all of my half rings using a sled I made for my tablesaw. Has works fantastic as long as the half rings are less than 2 inches tall.

I've done flatwork for over thirty years and have been turning for just under six years, and while I might say that I'm accomplished at both, I excel at neither. Both types of work are only limited...

My questions are: 1.) How many colored pencils did you start out with, and 2.) What did you use as a gap-filler between the glued pencils?

Awesome job!
